Re: The Twitter Files
It was interesting reading the posted actual letters vs. Taibbi's interpretation of them. Spoiler Alert: You will find a lot of ex FBI, CIA and military types in the security and safety arms of large American corporations. Wonder why? Option A: Vast deep state conspiracy to infiltrate every element ...

Huh, 1/N Asset Allocation is Quite Robust
For the wonky types.

And of course, 1/N is how the PP does it.

Re: Dawg Pound
I'm in a sentimental mood regarding pets this week as we finally had to put our bunny to sleep due to advanced uterine cancer. I'm a total wimp with these kinds of things. I broke down crying about six times the first day, four times the second day, and two times yesterday. So far, none at all toda...

Re: Deep-State Lies
+1 on glennds and Maddy's comments. There are posters here now that I think are way off the rails in terms of what they believe the facts to be and their analysis of them. Having learned my lesson in the "Great Covid Wars" my response now is non-response. However, they bring a viewpoint and do so wi...

Re: Bank Bonuses
Banging the drum again...crypto is a speculation. It is neither a currency nor an asset (asset class). It has all the negatives of gold with none of its positives.

Re: Ukrainian Immigrant Interviews Jimmy Dore
And you guys probably don't think that the CIA lied to get us into the Iraq war after 9/11 also, right? And they didn't lie to get us into several other wars down through the ages, right? Somehow, people are willing to believe that lies happened 20 or 30 or more years ago, but right now at this mom...

Re: The Twitter Files
I couldn't agree with you more, but I think you might be missing the point. The discussion I'm prompting isn't as much about election claims as it is about the tendency of some (many?) people to rattle the Constitution sabre whenever something is not going the way they'd like. Or stated differently...

Re: Peanut Butter & Jelly Burger
One of the best burgers I've ever had: a peanut butter & jelly burger with bacon and cheese. There's something similar at one of my favorite places where I live. it's just the Peanut Butter burger though. Hamburger, bacon, cheese, PB, siracha sauce and red pepper aioli. I couldn't get myself to try...

Re: Another Gold ETF post
Agree with the general feeling on a Chinese holding company. However, I think the location, local laws in effect and the auditing/auditor is probably more important. If the vault is in the US or UK with a western auditing firm I'm not that concerned. Move the vault to Bejing, use a non-western Europ...

Re: Died Suddenly
Yes, the age-range filters are very interesting. The 24-44 year olds had a big jump in excess mortality for about 7 months starting in July 2021. Is there any explanation for that? When did the covid vaccines roll out? It's a good thing they got the vaccine, because obviously covid was a big proble...

Re: Died Suddenly
To be clear, I'm certainly not anti-vaxx or vaxx hesitant for that matter. Also to be clear, I do not want to reopen the board Covid wars. My intent was to post something I had read a week or so back. And, to simply say covid is a virus like flu is a virus, at a basic level their behaviors are the ...

Do you know whether the four people in your office who died received the boosters in addition to the original two shot vaccine? Including the most recent "bi-valent" booster? My PCP seemed to be a little skeptical about the need for the most recent booster, but we didn't have a long conversation ab...

Re: The Twitter Files
There is nothing prohibiting US government officials from "leaning" on people or entities. Happens daily, as it does in the corporate world. Whether or not a law is broken is based on how the lean is done. Savvy senior government officials know where that line is and don't cross it...quite a few civ...

The two tweets in question were allegations that the voter registration system was owned and operated by "foreign actors", a claim which has yet to be proven, at least at the standard required by the courts. The Fantasy Island series ran for 7 years. Here's to 2023 and the show going off air again....

Jack, I read this article this morning, interrupted only by a planned safe deposit box visit. Thank you for posting. I’m not clear on where t-bills rank, layerwise.
